well if wat u say is true mine appears to be a replica b/c the flanges look welded on. but the header end looks like it'l only fit a 2.25 header. i bought it thinking it would it fit on my after market header , but my header end is a 2.5 so no luck. both sides appear to be only for 2.25 piping. but either way its a good pipe!
